Orb not there

Has anyone else had a problem pulling up the rotating orb from the LF website? Mine isn't there at all.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's not a slow internet speed thing either. I have cable internet and it's fast, and still nothing.

Beat me to it!

Not seeing anything either and I'm on a corporate LAN smile

Wonder if this means it's being updated with something new from Sunday?! Would go a little way in making up for not getting any ticket offers ...

If it's being updated....it would be really nice if there was some sort of message on LF informing us of whats going on.

True .. but I don't expect anything like that anymore.. plus this affects mainly European members (and US insomniacs!) and we don't count anyway (judging by the fact that mails about tickets etc. are sent out at about 3AM European time) ..

Think about it - 31:21. It's a joke. The Video globe is not working at all.

Nope it's just the orb, it's not there... razz
hide and seek....
Figured out the orb to get in has nothing to do with 7'oclock. It needs to run round twice with those pink little block things around the clock and then it goes up in smoke to let you enter.

I was never prompted to update payment info. It has not been even close to one year yet... Are you implying that in one year it will automatically charge my card again? And what does that have to do with right now?

They are probably updating something/overhauling the site a bit and the inability to see the videos is temporary. Maybe they are putting up sneak peaks of Paris or Montreux to lead us to buy a DVD available 11/10/09 cool

Once again Prince has shown he doesn't give a fuck about that site - or the fans for all that matter.

All we have done is line his short pockets again for a project he's only interested in until the release date. It's obvious he simply can't be bothered.

If I had the money for a good lawyer I would sue his ass off for false advertising.

I foolishly paid the $77 ($144 Australian) for an "entire new galaxy" and what did we get - 3 CRAP albums thats should have been just one brilliant one, a poxy t-shirt that they CHARGE ME the shipping for and a whole bunch of videos most of us would already have. WOW!!!

I sure as shit aren't going to pay for anymore of your vanity projects little man.

Total wanker!!!!!

Now I have that off my chest I feel better hehehehe

I wonder if a thousand of us got together for 77 bucks a piece if we could get ourselves a decent class-action lawsuit going?

yes. read the terms and conditions. unless you emailed them and specifically asked for that to not happen, i'm guessing come march 2010 there are going to be a lot of (even more) pissed off lotusflower.com members.

Hey don't complain! I still haven't got my T Shirt! I have updated my info and still nothing... I have emailed support@lotusflow3r.com and no reply. NOTHING.

I am a big Prince fan and have always supported his direct to consumer(Fan) websites from the first one and it really does feel like a 'take your money and run' situation with Lotusflow3er.com. Its a classic case of over promise and under deliver. If I would have known what I know now I would have bought the album from Target and not bought from the site. I do feel ripped off and like a sucker. I am really truly unimpressed by this.

My hunch is it's a glitch. Doesn't make much sense to take the orb down a few days after an update (the vids that were on Shellby's Youtube page). I remember people commenting that the orb was slow right after the update. Maybe Prince is writing the code for the site now himself and fucked it up.
